<bonz060>I want to patch python24 so that when I do a `sys.platfrom` on an linux version that's >= 4, I just get back "linux". How do I go about doing that? `sys.plaform` is a python built-in so I'm guessing I'd have to touch the C files(specifically /Python/getplatform.c). Here's the source code I'm working with: https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4.6/Python-2.4.6.tar.bz2 <bonz060>Never mind. I've found a solution for ^^ <civodul>did you find patches floating around for that? <bonz060>Nope. I wrote one my self. I spent some time skimming the Python2.4 source code, and after sometime figured out where Platform is being called in the built-ins. I came up with this: https://paste.debian.net/1155337/ <bonz060>civodul: I also sent efraim the patches for matplotlib. I reckon he responds way faster :-) <efraim>I applied it on top of the python- branch, I'll pull it into master after looking through the last patch or two on that branch <efraim>^ the patch for matplotlib that is <civodul>bonz060: ah yes, you did well, i've been MIA :-) <bonz060>civodul: That's cool. You handle way too much imo
